A square red silk textile features a central peacock with a fan-shaped tail, encircled by a circular ring of bamboo and flowers. Two small birds flank the peacock. Shimmering gold vines and scrolling clusters of pink, white, and blue blossoms radiate toward the corners, filling the ground. The piece is bordered by a dense, multicolored silk fringe in alternating sections of light blue, seafoam green, and soft pink.
